Next Stage...

Well, it looks like my wife and I will be moving onto a new stage of parenthood, life without diapers. Yahoo!! Our little guy finally decided that he would get on board with the whole potty training thing and has actually gone three days without an accident. Sure it took some Tonka trucks and a little bribery but hey, when it comes to potty training the end does justify the means. We have been changing diapers continuoualy for nearly 6 years now and it is nice to move on. Anyways, as much as it is nice to think about not changing diapers there is some sadness in looking at my little boy and thinking about the part of my life as the father of a little baby being over. However, then the memory of runny pooh comes back to me and I think, Yahoo, no more changing diapers!!

My apologies if this is judgemental but you had a five year still in diapers!? Diapers are for babies who are still learning to walk and starting on table food. I can't imagine changing the diaper of a kid that old. I didn't even know they made them that big. 2 or 3 at the latest, but 5!! That's crazy. I've heard of this beofre and always wondered what the parents were waiting for. 5 years? FIVE YEARS?! You've gotta be kidding.

Ya, it wasn't as much a diaper as it was a a glad bag with some leg holes in it. Easy clean-up as we just hosed him down in the back yard. Hopefully in a year or two he will be ready to try solid food.

Or wait maybe I was talking about our two year old, oh ya that's it.
